Though decidedly fake, the storylines in wrestling are some of the great tales of our times. Friendships and rivalries play out before our very eyes, and everyone has an anecdote 'about that time this happened'. 2K is well aware how we process the world of professional wrestling and our attachments to its long running history and have today announced the introduction of Showcase mode for the upcoming WWE 2K15.

What is Showcase mode? Through high quality cinematics and historic WWE footage, players will intimately explore two notable WWE rivalries: the bitter rivalry between Triple H and Shawn Michaels from 2002 to 2004, as well John Cena and CM Punk's spirited rivalry spanning 2011 to 2013.
"The moment Triple H ended his longtime friendship with 'The Heartbreak Kid' by slamming him with a Pedigree was a defining moment in WWE history," said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K.

"No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences."
2K is asking you to recreate history. Maybe even change it.
Showcase will tell the epic history of the two rivalries through documentary-style video packages of classic WWE footage, authentic WWE Superstar commentary and cinematic cut scenes
The mode will feature 33 matches across the rivalries. Players will be tasked with completing a set of bonus historical objectives that will unlock new WWE Superstars, Championship titles and alternate attire that can be used in all other WWE 2K15 game modes.
With this wealth of unlockable content, players can recreate current rivalries or stage dream matchups between WWE Superstars of the past and present. Additional 2K Showcase rivalries will be made available via downloadable content following the game's scheduled release on October 28, 2014 in North America and October 31, 2014 internationally.
Fans who pre-order WWE 2K15 at any participating retailer will receive two playable Sting characters at no extra cost on launch day.
So who do you want to see? Personally, I'd love to see a Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage historical matchup again, but maybe I'm not the guy you should be asking.
